    so im thinking about hosting a forum

    But I'm afraid my forum will always be down because of so many users and eventually, too little server hard memory. I'm going to make my forum a teen support community, but those always get flooded with members asking for advice and whatnot.

    Having a good moderator staff and possibly forcing Admin approval of new registrations, setting up automatic forum pruning and inactive user pruning, should go a long way toward keeping disc space and memory usage to an acceptable amount.

    Yes, well, I'm planning something like this: http://www.golivewire.com/

    Something where it has millions of members and billions of posts.

    If it has that many I imagine that you will need loooaaads of staff :P

    Anyway setting up a forum is the easiest thing every, I'm sure it'll be fine

    Good luck,
